Ezekiel 38

The Defeat of Gog

38The word of the LORD came to me:H1697H3068H5592"Son of man, turn your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against himH1121H120H7760H6440H1463H776H4031H7218H5387H4902H8422H50123and say: This is what the Lord God says: Look, I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.H559H559H136H3069H1463H7218H5387H4902H84224I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws, and bring you out with all your army, including horses and riders, who are all splendidly dressed, a huge company armed with shields and bucklers, all of them brandishing swords.H7725H5414H2397H3895H3318H2428H5483H6571H3847H4358H7227H6951H6793H4043H8610H27195Persia, Cush, and Put are with them, all of them with shields and helmets;H6539H3568H6316H4043H35536Gomer with all its troops; and Beth-togarmah from the remotest parts of the north along with all its troops— many peoples are with you.H1586H102H1004H8425H6828H3411H102H7227H59717"Be prepared and get yourself ready, you and all your company who have been mobilized around you; you will be their guard.H3559H3559H6951H6950H49298After a long time you will be summoned. In the last years you will enter a land that has been restored from war and regathered from many peoples to the mountains of Israel, which had long been a ruin. They were brought out from the peoples, and all of them [now] live securely.H7227H3117H6485H319H8141H935H776H7725H2719H6908H7227H5971H2022H3478H8548H2723H3318H5971H3427H9839You, all of your troops, and many peoples with you will advance, coming like a thunderstorm; you will be like a cloud covering the land.H5927H935H7722H6051H3680H776H102H7227H597110"This is what the Lord God says: On that day, thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.H559H136H3069H3117H1697H5927H3824H2803H7451H428411You will say: I will go up against a land of open villages; I will come against a tranquil people who are living securely, all of them living without walls and without bars or gates—H559H5927H776H6519H935H8252H3427H983H3427H2346H1280H181712in order to seize spoil and carry off plunder, to turn your hand against ruins now inhabited and against a people gathered from the nations, who have been acquiring cattle and possessions and who live at the center of the world.H7997H7998H962H957H7725H3027H2723H3427H5971H622H1471H6213H4735H7075H3427H2872H77613Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish with all its rulers will ask you: Have you come to seize spoil? Have you assembled your hordes to carry off plunder, to make off with silver and gold, to take cattle and possessions, to seize great spoil?H7614H1719H5503H8659H3715H559H935H7997H7998H6950H6951H962H957H5375H3701H2091H3947H4735H7075H7997H1419H799814"Therefore prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog: This is what the Lord God says: On that day when My people Israel are dwelling securely, will you not know [this]H1121H120H5012H559H1463H559H136H3069H3117H5971H3478H3427H983H304515and come from your place in the remotest parts of the north— you and many peoples with you, who are all riding horses— a mighty horde, a huge army?H935H4725H6828H3411H7227H5971H7392H5483H1419H6951H7227H242816You will advance against My people Israel like a cloud covering the land. It will happen in the last days, Gog, that I will bring you against My land so that the nations may know Me, when I show Myself holy through you in their sight.H5927H5971H3478H6051H3680H776H319H3117H935H776H1471H3045H6942H1463H586917"This is what the Lord God says: Are you the one I spoke about in former times through My servants, the prophets of Israel, who for years prophesied in those times that I would bring you against them?H559H136H3069H1696H6931H3117H3027H5650H5030H3478H5012H3117H8141H93518Now on that day, the day when Gog comes against the land of Israel"— [this is] the declaration of the Lord God— "My wrath will flare up.H3117H3117H1463H935H127H3478H5002H136H3069H2534H5927H63919I swear in My zeal and fiery rage: On that day there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.H7068H784H5678H1696H3117H1419H7494H127H347820The fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, every creature that crawls on the ground, and every human being on the face of the earth will tremble before Me. The mountains will be thrown down, the cliffs will collapse, and every wall will fall to the ground.H1709H3220H5775H8064H2416H7704H7431H7430H127H120H6440H127H7493H6440H2022H2040H4095H5307H2346H5307H77621I will call for a sword against him on all My mountains"— the declaration of the Lord God— "and every man's sword will be against his brother.H7121H2719H2022H5002H136H3069H376H2719H25122I will execute judgment on him with plague and bloodshed. I will pour out torrential rain, hailstones, fire, and brimstone on him, as well as his troops and the many peoples who are with him.H8199H1698H1818H4305H102H7227H5971H7857H1653H417H68H784H161423I will display My greatness and holiness, and will reveal Myself in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.H1431H6942H3045H5869H7227H1471H3045H3068
